This would be the operating system command line, not Python's
interactive mode. Since you refer to a C drive, I'm going to assume
Windows; you'll want to open up "Command Prompt", or cmd.exe, or
whatever name your version of Windows buries it under. (Microsoft does
not make it particularly easy on you.) Since you have a space in the
name, you'll need quotes:

cd "c:\Beautiful Soup"

Then proceed as per the instructions.
